v3.03.107 SSLS107 - Cylindrical panel subject to its own weight

Summary:

This test makes it possible to validate two finite elements of thick shells in linear elasticity. Modeling A tests the quadrangle, modeling B tests the triangle associated with the formulation. This cylindrical panel problem under its own weight is a classic shell test.

The reference results are analytical solutions.

Note the good results obtained with the quadrangle and the much worse results obtained with the triangle.
